Essentially, it looks like private IP addresses are used on your network that are not resolving using your DNS. If you have your own DNS, some zones need to added that are likely missing. For Windows, there are other solutions.

I only picked a few of the items that appear to have good answers to at least get you started. You may need to search around a bit more if you are not running your own DNS and not using Windows.
